San Antonio in Pictures

I feel like my last post was a little gripe-y so I wanted to share some pictures from San Antonio.  Despite the heat, we had an enjoyable time.  It was nice to get away for a few days and spend some time as a family.
I was so excited to stop at the Buc-ee's in New Braunfels.  I have had a long love for Buc-ee's despite never actually having been to one.  I completely geeked out in the parking lot and was totally amazed with the place. We will definitely be back.
Jackson and me with Buc-ee the Beaver (not a chipmunk).  The sun was really bright where we were standing. And, yes, the gas was $3.09 on Friday and $3.05 on Sunday. Crazy! 
Jackson and me on the Riverboat Cruise.  We could not get this kid to look at the camera all weekend.  
A tired little boy up past his bedtime having dinner at The Rainforest Cafe. 
Our hotel was across the street from the Alamo so of course we were there when it opened on Saturday morning.  Even at 9AM it was still in the 90s. 
Jackson says, "Remember the Alamo!" 
Daddy and J getting ready to go swimming for the first time. 
Jackson and me checking out the phone booths at the Menger Hotel, the sister hotel to the Crockett where we were staying.

Julie, you look beautiful! And Jackson is adorable. And I'm jealous of your Buc-ee stop and your trip to the Alamo. My husband will be even more jealous when I tell him about it :)
